Directa Plus announced that the collaboration between Directa Plus and Iterchimica to develop and produce Gipave, a Green Asphalt embedded with G+ graphene, has achieved another important recognition. Gipave has been chosen for an extensive resurfacing operation in Rome, ahead of the 2025 Jubilee. Anas has awarded the contract for a resurfacing operation to cover c.15 kilometers of historical routes, using Gipave technology.

Gipave is enriched with Directa Plus' graphene and hard recycled plastics, which increases a roads lifespan by up to 61% compared to current market technologies. Directa Plus' collaboration with Iterchimica demonstrates the joint commitment to environmental sustainability by saving over 200,000 kg of bitumen and 4.5 million kg of aggregates, reducing the need for over 300 truck trips for material transportation, and cutting down 1,110 MWh of energy consumption and 446,000 kg of CO2 emissions. The process also integrates 32,000 kg of otherwise non-recyclable hard plastics, reinforcing the Group's commitment to circular economy principles.
